See stunning drone footage by Eyal Asaf of Belvoir Fortress, Kochav HaYarden!

The Belvoir Fortress could be considered one of the north’s best kept secrets in Israel. Just 20 kilometers south of the Sea of Galilee sits the crusader castle that dates back to the 12th century CE. The impressive structure sits high above the Jordan Valley, a strategic location during the time of the Crusades. 

Designed to ward off Muslim invaders, the fortress provided strong combat positioning as well as an amazing view of the surrounding area. The structure itself consists of an outer and an inner square fortress. It is still well-preserved and visitors have the opportunity to explore the grounds while taking in a stunning view over the Jordan Valley, the Sea of Galilee and up through the Golan. 

It is the most complete Crusader fortress in Israel.
